Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office - provides mental health services to current inmates within the Arapahoe County detention system.
2025 began successfully as we see trending data in Q1 that continues to display a strong effort as it pertains to the mental health team at the Arapahoe County Detention Facility. The Mental Health team contacted 4,991 patients per month throughout the quarter.
The team is fully staffed with Mental Health Professionals which certainly correlates to a better and more efficient delivery of services. This can likely be associated to increased availability by the Licensed Mental Health Professionals, but also due to increased acuity displayed by the inmate-patient population. The delivery of quality Mental Health services is a priority to the Arapahoe County Detention Facility, and the continued evaluation of best practices will enhance the delivery of services to this high-risk patient population.
While the use of tele-psychiatry is still an option, there are two psychiatry providers that manage medications. Group therapy continues to be offered to the individuals experiencing incarceration at the Arapahoe County Detention Facility by the behavioral health manager. The hope is that this effort will prove beneficial as the goal of the group therapy is to focus on enhancing coping mechanisms which will lead to a healthier incarceration but will also assist in preparing for adversity post-release.
